That Girl

She had it all.
Money, looks, and everything else she ever wanted. She was spoiled beyond compare.
But, she was missing something from her life.
The one who was going to take her breathe away one day.
Except, how could someone if she was the shy one around the guys and the total bitch around everyone else?

;;

Ron ran up to her, well sort of, and grabbed her in a one armed hug. Draco's initial reaction was to get up and lash out on him and thats exactly what he did. Alexandra just stood like a disparaged statue.

"What are you doing, Weasley?" roared Draco as he ripped Ron away from her. Ron looked at Draco and sunk it all in.

"What are you doing here!" squealed Ron. His cheeks bypassed red to maroon as he looked at Alexandra.

"You invited Alexandra over here. Think I would let her go alone to a shit house like this?" smirked Draco. Alexandra looked down ashamedly and quickly looked back up as to not show any sign of weakness towards Ron.

"I didn't know you were over there Ferret." He gnarled his fingers as he spoke, anger showing through his muscular arms.

"Would you two shut up?" said Alexandra. Ginny in agreement nodded her head and stood next to Harry. Draco wanted to retort, but saw that the look on Andi's face wasn't one to mess with and sat back down in the seat provided to him, steamed.

"Weasley. Potter. Private." said Andi forcefully as she pointed upstairs. She looked at Draco and gave him a knowing look. "Don't worry, love. I can take care of myself." Draco looked at Ron and Harry, shooting petrosal-like eyes, as they bore into both of their skins in some way. After telling Draco and Brittney to get along downstairs, she walked off with both boys.

;;

"Are you going to tell her?" asked Harry. Ron shook his head and exited from the bathroom back into the room where Alexandra was walking around impatiently.

"Did you like the gift, Alexandra?" questioned Ron. Andi spun around to look at him and nodded softly.

"Yes. Thank you. I was meaning to ask you something before, but I couldn't as Draco lunged at you." said Alexandra looking down at Harry's bed.

"What was it?" he responded as he sat down upon his bed.

She looked at them both, her face hard as she spoke. "Why isn't that bitch of a friend here?" Ron and Harry looked at each other and sighed deeply.

"She didn't deserve to be around us." said Ron. He hung his head low as he continued. "She publicized something that she should've never done and we can't forgive her for it." Harry looked at her with beautiful, big green eyes and her lip quivered as she felt a tear fall. Not knowing what he should do about the situation, he walked over to her and wiped away the fallen tear.

"Look. I know we may be enemies and all, but you're just as equal to us in this house as we are you. We just want to tell you that, whenever and where-ever you need someone to talk to, you always have Ron and I. Absolutely no objections about this. We're going to make it up to you for what Hermione did to you and I know it's not enough, but we're always up for anything." he said. She wrapped her arms around him and he wrapped his around her. She cried softly in his shoulder and he ran his hand down her back soothing her.

Ron got up and walked up behind Harry and spoke softly. "How about we talk right now? To get things...off your chest, so that you can trust us. A-And me again."

Andi pulled gently away from Harry and wiped away the tears that were to stain her face and looked at Ron. She thought for a moment and walked over to his bed and sat down upon it.

"This feels weirder than the first time, Ron. But, I'd like to t-try again." A small smile danced upon Ron's face as he sat down on the floor, Harry followed. "Am I queen already?" asked Andi sarcastically. Harry laughed and nodded.

"Around here...you now are." Andi smiled and played around with her hair. They talked about their lives as a starter and they eventually started talking about her and Draco. Wide smiles spilled on Alexandra's distraught face as they mentioned his name, over and over again.

"So, he has a good side, eh?" asked Harry smirking slightly.

"Dare tell him I told you, I'll make sure you're dead, Po-Harry." Her fingers dug into Ron's bed, trying to control her unknown anger.

"I solemnly swear." said Harry as he raised his right hand in front of him. Alexandra stared at him darkly, until she knew that he wouldn't take her for granted. She laid down on Ron's bed and sighed.

"Mind if I take my shirt off?" asked Andi. Harry's eyes flicked up at Alexandra's torso and he looked at Ron who looked like he was about to combust.

"Erm..." said Ron unsure. He raked his brain for what to say and bit his lip. "Sure? But, do you have an undershirt or...something underneath?"

"No. I only have my bra on." she said speaking up at the ceiling. Ron's eyes widened slightly and he looked at Harry frantic. Harry didn't know what to do either, so he told her that she could and that maybe she should lay down on her stomach as to not expose the world. She laughed and took her shirt off, but instead of laying down on her stomach she got up and walked over to the door and magically locked it. Facing back at the boys', whose faces were directed either at her face or her chest, she walked over to them and sat in front of them on the floor.

"I want to show you something. I've shown them to Draco, but I've never shown them to Brittney or anyone else. Promise you'll keep this a secret?" she pleaded with them. They nodded quickly and she stood up. As if to take off her bra, she pulled down the straps and whispered a spell. Marks showed on her skin that would make anyone cringe, who saw them.

"Bloody hell." gasped both boys. They both got up and touched her shoulders cautiously, hoping that they wouldn't hurt her.

"It doesn't hurt. I have others, this is but nothing." she said looking in Harry's eyes. His eyes looked glassy as he felt his eyes water. "Don't cry. It doesn't help at all, it only wastes away the water in your body that could be used for a much better use than this." Stepping back, she turned around and there big and bold was a X, slashed across her back.

Her head hung low as she waited for the touch of male hands upon her, but none did. When she heard a small sniffle she spun around quickly on the spot and saw Ron crying slightly.

"Ron?" she asked as she walked up to him. He walked up to her the rest of the way, which was quite short, and embraced her.

"How could anyone do this to you?" he asked confused. She looked up at him and wiped away the tears that had fallen from his eyes.

"Someone who said he loved me, but if he really did, he would've controlled himself no matter what the urge and stopped. But I underestimated him and thought that he would come to his senses." she said slightly audible. She looked down at Ron's chest, not wanting to look at his face now.

"If I ever had the chance to be with you, I never would hurt you." blurted Ron. He didn't realize he had said this until Harry's face broke out into a wide grin. Alexandra looked up at him and he looked down at her. It was now or never, he thought, so he did it. He kissed her. His lips soft, pressed against her own. For a moment, Alexandra didn't pull back, but she knew that this wasn't something that she was to do. Pulling back forcefully, she rushed to the bed and put her shirt back on and whispered the counterspell for the marks on her skin.

Not even bothering to talk to Ron nor Harry, she opened the door back up once again and ran down the stairs. Draco heard feet running down the stairs and immediately looked at the case to see Alexandra coming down. He got up and walked over to her, but she sprinted over to the couch and grabbed her coat and dashed out of the house, bumping into a flustered Mrs. Weasley on the way.

She sat in her car, crying for what seemed like forever, when she saw Draco running up to the car. She quickly grabbed her purse from the back and took out tissue and patted her face and eyes dry. She gave a last sniffle as Draco and Brittney opened the passenger door.

Brittney got in and Draco closed the door after her. Walking over to Alex's side of the car, he asked her to come out and talk to him. She did so slowly.

"Baby, what's wrong?" questioned Draco as he touched her face. She shook her head and looked down. He gently lifted her head up to him and kissed her gently. "Does it have anything to do with those two idiots?" he asked softly. She shook her head, lying and inhaled in the cold air into her body.

"Nothing's wrong, Draco. I just want to leave." she said looking at him.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. I just want to finish opening those presents that you got me." she said with a small smile. He smiled back and pulled her into a long hug. She smelled the cologne on his body and her body relaxed at once. "I love the cologne you wear, love." she said teasingly.

He smiled and kissed her forehead. "I love that perfume that I chose for you." Laughing, she hit him playfully and kissed him long and hard. He pulled her close, her hips his centerpoint. She moaned in the kiss as he deepened it. Snow began to fall and it danced upon their bodies as they took in the other.

"She's happy with him, you know?" asked Ron dismayed as he watched the young couple kiss outside of his home. Harry nodded and ran his hands through his hair.

"Alexandra surely isn't fearful of anything. But we do know her biggest and worst weakness..."

"What's that?"

"Men."

As if saying something, he watched as Draco and Alexandra got back into the car. "She has a nice car, Harry."

"Let me see." said Harry as he walked up to the window. Harry looked out and saw the silver car seemingly look like it were waltzing with the snow falling around it. "Yeah, you're right. She does have a nice car. She's lucky enough to have so much money to not give a damn of how much things cost. Remember when she told us that she had crashed five cars back in New Zealand and Australia?"

"Yeah." said Ron as he now watched the car drive off.

"She's beyond lucky now that I think of it. I don't even think she knows how lucky she actually is and what she's taking for granted." said Harry softly as he walked away from the window and sat upon his bed.

"Lynn!" cried Alexandra from the den. Too many rooms in this place, I can't even find a house elf. Oh. A house elf.

"Sharpie!" she called. A small house elf appeared on the spot, it had a red frock with black "booties" on to cover itself. Unfortunately, it scared the living day lights out of Brittney.

"What is that!" whimpered Brittney. She inched away from it and backed behind Draco, who moved away from her at once.

"It's a house elf, Britt. She won't even bite." said Alexandra rolling her eyes. The house elf stood quietly waiting for her orders. "Sharp, I need you to look for my mom. Can you do that for me?"

"Yes, ma'am." nodded the small house elf.

"Good. You're dismissed." Alexandra walked away from the house elf as it gave a crack and was gone, off looking for the woman. Draco walked beside her as Brittney trailed behind, now fully examining things in windows and particularly pictures. One seemed to move right in front of her face, but she thought that it were a mere illusion.

"Brittney. We're going up to the lib, want to come?" questioned Andi, as she walked up the spiral staircase towards the third floor opposite from the straight staircase in the middle of the house. Draco walked farther ahead of them and decided on just walking straight there.

"Um...yeah. Sure, I'll come." Brittney ran up to her and walked with her the rest of the way. As they reached inside of the library, Brittney was in awe.

"This is amazing, Lexon! How many books are in here?" she said as she ran over to a bookshelf. She slid a book out from the shelf and looked at the cover.

"I wouldn't open that, if I were you."

"Why not?"

"Just don't."

"But, Lexon, it looks ever so interesting!" Her eyes feasted against the title of the book and she peeked at its binding.

"I said no, Brittney." she said firmly. Brittney huffed and put the book back on the shelf.

"Let's go. Draco's probably over by our photo albums. We keep them in here in the back."

"Oh, do you still have that one from when we met those gorgeous," she said emphasizing the word by what it really was. "surfers on the beach off in Sydney?" Her eyes dreamy as she walked.

"I think so. Matter-of-fact, yes." She walked over to the back of the library and took out a green album with black dots sparingly placed on it. "Come on, we still need to look for Draco." she said. Brittney and her walked around some bookshelves until they met the center of the room with a large round table. Draco was seated there flipping through one of the many albums he had pulled from the shelves.

"Thought I'd find you here." said Andi. Walking over to him, she kissed him lightly on the cheek and looked down at the book that he was looking at. "Oh, Lord." She backed away from the table and fell backwards as she wasn't watching where she was going. Draco got up and walked over to her, helping her up.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Her eyes were pained as she looked at the book from a far distance. Brittney walked up to the book and pointed at the picture. It moved, but she didn't seem to take notice. All that really stood out to her was the picture itself.

"Andi, wasn't this you and Teddy back when you two were dating? What ha-" she was cut off before she could finish. Alexandra had screamed and collapsed to the ground in tears. Kneeling down in front of her, Draco tried his best to soothe her down.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know, I'm sorry." he said softly. He choked out the words as tears flooded his vision. Brittney was at most confused when she walked over to them both. Draco held her close to him as Brittney stood there watching, wondering what was wrong. She cried into his shoulder and he picked her up bridal-style and walked out of the library towards her room. Sitting down on the bed with her in his arms, still, he spoke sweetnothings into her ear trying to keep her from crying any longer.

Brittney entered the room as she saw Draco wiping away the tears from her best friend's face. She walked over and sat on the bed next to him and stroked her hair.

"What happened?" she asked softly. Looking at her with confusion, he shook his head.

"I thought you knew." he said. She shook her head and got up to fetch a damp face towel to give to Alexandra.

"So, are you telling me that you know something that I don't?" asked Brittney as she sat back down upon the bed. He nodded and wiped the sweat and tears that were on Alexandra's face. She had cried herself into a soft, disturbing sleep. Draco placed her on the bed and put the covers over her body as to not get her cold and kissed her forehead.

"I love you." he whispered. Brittney smiled softly and got up. He walked away from her and walked towards the door. "Mind if I talk to you? I can't tell you what she won't tell you, that's her job to tell her best friend, but I can atleast tell you what not to do around her."

Giving him the eye, he raised an eyebrow as she walked out of the room. He rolled his eyes and followed her.

"I don't like you, but I love her and as much as it pains me to talk to you, I want and need to protect her." he said coldly. Brittney's eyes narrowed as she walked down the stairs towards the living room, where all unopened presents still lay under the tree. Draco sat in the same loveseat from this morning and Britt over in the couch.

"I have a question for you." said Brittney as she looked at him.

"What?" he spat. She ignored his response and continued on.

"If you love my best friend to such an extent,-" Draco looked at her with deathly eyes and cut her off.

"To such an extent? I won't stop loving her if I turn 30 or 40 years old, so don't tell me that I love her to such an extent." he roared. The hairs on Brittney's neck stood on end as Draco snapped at her. He sat back down afterwards and stared at the beautifully lit tree.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that." she said quietly.

"I don't care. Ask your fucking question already, you're wasting my time on me helping you help her." he said not bothering to look at her. Her eyes darted back and forth from her right foot to her left as she spoke once more.

"Well, I was going to ask as to why you wouldn't try and like your girlfriend's own best friend, but I think I now know why." she said. She didn't think she could deal with another loud retort from this person.

"You're wrong." he asked now looking at her, smirking.

"Why?" she said looking at him.

"Because. You're a mudblood and us as Slytherin's don't interact with mudbloods such as you. We don't marry into families of mudbloods, nor do we haste to make friends with them. But Alexandra is different, she didn't choose to be who she is, she is who she is and I love her for it. She has the compassion and the patience for such dirt like your kind and sometimes I wonder if she ever feels her skin crawl when one of you touch her. Maybe because she tries not to be popular and in some way, it doesn't help her one bit. Know why? Because she's the most intimidating female in our school and it's mostly because she's different beyond any one of us. She's tricked, lied and dominated over the muggles that she has known...but you. And in some strange crazy way, that's what makes her so attractive to every guy who lives in Hogwarts, now that everyone knows.

"I could never be what she can be. I don't have father and mother figures like she does. I don't have someone to love me, even if it were a muggle, except for her. That's why I hate you and I will say it again. I-Hate-You. Get the picture yet?"

Brittney's eyes teared with what Draco had to say to her and about her "kind" and all the lies that he spoke about Andi. "You're a fucking liar! How dare you talk about Andi like that!" she said spitting out words.

"You think I'm lying?" smirked Draco. "Test me, bitch."

She lunged from the couch towards him, but all she felt was her head colliding against hard wall.

"You're too agile for your speed and intellect. I came down here to tell you something and I'm going to tell you right now, so you better listen up or else you could kill your best friend with the words that you say. Got it?" he said kneeling down in front of her. She nodded slowly and he smiled icily.

"That so-called man that Andi was dating? Teddy? Don't you dare mention his name, speak of anything that reminds of him and don't show her any pictures of her and him together. I regret it enough for looking at the album and not noticing, but you now know that if you say anything pertaining to him, I will make sure that you don't see fucking daylight." With that he walked out of the living room, leaving Brittney holding her head, now pounding hard as if someone was knocking her over the head with a sledge hammer.

;;

He stroked her hair as he watched her sleep. But after awhile he fell asleep too himself, Andi against him, his hair falling in front of his face.

After sometime, Andi woke up to notice Draco's arms around her, protecting her. She smiled weakly and frowned quickly remembering the afternoon's events. Christmas was ruined and God knows what else had happened since then. She planned on opening the rest of the presents that relatives and friends had gotten her, but it sure as hell wasn't going to happen then. Peeling Draco's arms from around her waist, she got up from the bed and walked out of her room downstairs.

"Sharpie." she spoke softly. The house-elf apparated by her side and bowed low, her nose nearly touching the ground.

"What shall you want me to do for you, Misses?" squeaked Sharpie.

"Get my father."

"Fa-father, Misses?" stuttered Sharpie. Andi nodded slightly and looked down at the confused elf.

"Did you find Lynn earlier?"

"Yes, misses. I couldn't find you." she said bowing her head shamefully.

"Oh. Well, don't bother anymore. Just fetch Father." Sharpie nodded and apparated on her finding her father.

Andi walked around the banister looking around for what she really didn't know. Walking for what seemed like some time, she tripped on something...big. Groaning as she rubbed her chin from the fall, she looked around wondering what had caused this sudden intrusion.

"Brittney?"
